Hello.
I have DD2 Pro and need to have doors that open into a room that are on the south wall by the east wall. Is there a FLIP command or do I have to make a new symbol? If so, where is some info for me to read on how to do so?
Thank you in advance.

If you right click before you place any symbol it brings up the symbol parameters pop-up. There should be a check mark in the smart tracking box. If there isn't check it. Now click the More button and you go back to placing the symbol. when you move a door over a wall you should see it flip back and forth depending on which side of the wall you place the cursor on. I also usually turn snaps off before placing wall features like doors so I can place them exactly where I want them. Just remember to turn it back on later when you need it

Smart tracking was checked. I want to put a door in the lower right, where the doors are now, but I want the door to open into the room. I can make it myself, but was wondering if there was an easier way. Also how can I make a symbol for my category?

Right click to access symbol parameters, then set x to -1 and y to 1 (This will mirror the symbol), now place it. You may need to turn off smart tracking and disable smart symbols when doing this.

sorry I misread your intent. Good thing my advice is free or I'd be handing out refunds all day.

Thanks Monsen, that did just the trick. Also, if you leave Smart Tracking on when you do the x=-1 and y=1, it will work the same as a normal symbol just hinged on the other side.
Thanks again to everyone.
